At 10:55am this morning the Life Flight Trust responded to Bulls Run, Moonshine Valley, Upper Hutt to a 50yr old male who was involved in a Motocross Bike accident.

Life Flight responded with a Wellington Free Paramedic on board the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

The Helicopter was able to land on a clearing next to the dirt road where the patient was. The patient had been riding his Motocross bike on a track when he fell approx 2m on to a forestry access road. He was complaining of pain to his chest and back. His friends he was riding with were able to call for help via their cell phone.

The patient was flown to Wellington Hospital Emergency Department where he is being treated for his injuries.
